Project description

Development of a regional and local groundwater model of the polder areas in ‘West ZeeuwsVlaanderen’ and surroundings, based on a preliminary literature review and monitoring campaign. The groundwater model is based on a 3D density dependent groundwater flow model. The historical and future evolution of the fresh-salt water distribution in the phreatic aquifer ismodeled.
